The housekeeper has a roast leg of lamb in his left hand, a piece of braised pig's trotters in his right hand, a bite on the left and a bite on the right, and his mouth is full of oil. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The table full of food was quickly swept away by the two of them, and the butler touched his round stomach and burped.
"Do you want more?" Chen Mengdie leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the two people who kept burping, and asked with a smile.
"No, no," the butler hurriedly waved his hand, "and my stomach will be burst if I eat again." ”
"Okay, let's get down to business." Chen Mengdie is colorful.
Seeing that the other party looked like a teacher asking for guilt, the butler's eyes immediately became dodgy.
"Li Wei, you don't protect your son well, what are you doing when you come to Chu State?"
"I'm ......" Li Wei held back for a long time, unable to say why.
"And you, why don't you stay in Wei County, why don't you come out and wander around?" Chen Mengdie set her eyes on the housekeeper.
"I ......" the butler also couldn't say why.
Both of them twisted their heads away at the same time and sighed heavily.
"Steward Liu, you speak first." Chen Mengdie twisted her head towards the housekeeper.
The housekeeper was very aggrieved and said: "I don't want to, he has to let me lead the way, and said that if I can't find you, he won't let me go, you know, I can't beat him." ”
The butler clenched his fist and gestured in front of Li Wei's chest, as thin as chicken feet, "That's why I'm here." ”
Chen Mengdie once again set her eyes on Li Wei, waiting for him to give an answer.
Li Wei took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her, "You will understand after reading this." ”
When she opened the letter, the handwriting on it was slightly scribbled, but she recognized it as her brother's handwriting.
"The great revenge has been avenged, sister, don't read it, wander the world, the four seas are home, never return, the land of right and wrong."
Chen Mengdie folded the letter paper, carefully placed it in her arms, and then asked with a smile, "Is this true?" ”
"Yes," Li Wei met her eyes, but his fists were clenched tightly, "Childe's wish has been fulfilled, wandering away, before leaving, Childe also specially instructed the princess to protect the princess, Childe hopes that the princess will not go back to that sad place." ”
"You talk nonsense!" Chen Mengdie slammed the table, she grabbed Li Wei's collar and whispered: "My brother will never leave his father's country alone, you lie to me!" ”
Li Wei lowered his head and stopped talking, Chen Mengdie tugged at his collar and moved closer again, "Tell me, what happened!" ”
At this moment, the content of the chat at the next table reached her ears.
"Chen Guo is in chaos, have you heard?" One person drank to the wine and stirred up a topic.
"How could I not have heard of such a big thing!" The other scoffed.
"Then what the hell is going on?" The drunken man exhales a mouthful full of wine.
"King Chen's sudden death, the order of the state of Chen was suddenly chaotic, in order to stabilize the situation in the country, King Chen's uncle ascended the throne," the man finished speaking, looking at the drunken man, "What I said is right, right?" ”
"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed!" The table mates praised.
"My distant cousin is a citizen of Chen Guoguo's capital, and he fled to my house not long ago to take refuge, so I naturally know ......."
Chen Mengdie didn't have the heart to listen to what she said later, her head was buzzing, and she almost fainted.
"Princess!" Li Wei hurriedly held her body and looked at her with a worried expression.
"Tell me, is what they said true?" Chen Mengdie stared at Li Wei, how much she longed for it to be fake, but she understood that this was just self-deception.
Li Wei didn't dare to look at her, was silent, and just sighed softly.
"I see." Chen Mengdie held on to the table and walked out of the door in despair.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and said timidly: "Guest officer, you haven't settled the bill yet." ”
"Take it." Chen Mengdie gave him all the money and continued to walk with his eyes blank.
"Still want to be alone?" The housekeeper snatched the money bag, counted two pieces of broken silver and stuffed them into the hands of the shopkeeper, "These are enough." ”
Li Wei followed closely behind Chen Mengdie, for fear that something would happen to her.
Around the corner, a carriage came galloping, and Chen Mengdie stood in place in a daze, with no intention of dodging at all.
When the coachman wanted to stop, it was too late, and seeing that the horse's hooves were about to step on Chen Mengdie's body, Li Wei suddenly crossed in front of her, grabbed the horse's hooves with both hands, and pushed forward hard, the horse's hind hooves took two steps backwards, and his butt stepped back against the carriage, which resolved the crisis.
The coachman rolled to the ground, and there was a rude shout from the carriage, "Who is his uncle?" ”
Immediately afterwards, a man in soapy clothes flew out of the car, and he landed in front of Li Wei, raising his eyebrows, "Is that you?" ”
The soap-clothed man looked behind Li Wei, and sure enough, there was a pale boy standing there.
"Haha, okay, the hero saves the boy, admire it!" Shangguan Cheng clenched his hands into fists, but at this moment, he quickly punched and hit Li Wei's left cheek.
Li Wei dodged flexibly, Shangguan Cheng did not relent, and attacked continuously, Li Wei took evasive measures, Rao is so, and the process of the two fighting is still very exciting.
The butler pulled the princess to dodge left and right, and shouted, "Don't fight, don't fight!" ”
"Second brother, stop!" Shangguan Tao saw that the two were inseparable, so he inserted between the two and blocked the left and right attacks, "Stop!" ”
"Hehe, big brother," Shangguan Cheng said in a unique thick voice, "I finally met my opponent today." ”
"What's the system for messing around on the streets?" Shangguan Tao couldn't help but blame.
I saw that the fruit stalls and vegetable stalls on both sides were all down, and the potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants fell to the ground, Shangguan Cheng touched his head, "I'll pay them double." ”
"Your temperament, I know best, this is the capital, not the country, you can restrain yourself."
Shangguan Cheng knew that he was at a loss, so he touched his head and didn't speak.
Shangguan Tao shook at Li Wei and said apologetically: "Hero, I'm sorry." ”
"I was wrong just now." Li Wei said modestly.
"Haha, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, I see that this brother has a frank personality and is a friend enough! There is a restaurant next to it, let's go in and have a good drink, how about it? ”
Li Wei clenched his fists and replied, "The younger brother also wants to, but the younger brother still has important things to do, so let's get together again when we have a chance in the future!" ”
Shangguan Cheng didn't give up, and pulled Li Wei to the restaurant, Shangguan Tao shook his head at him, Shangguan Cheng obediently let go, and he said helplessly: "Okay, then let's get together later, you have to talk and count." ”
"Naturally," Li Wei arched his hand, "Then the little brother will leave first." ”
"Farewell."
However, when Li Wei turned around, where was the shadow of the princess?
His heart sank suddenly, and just when he was in a hurry, the butler poked his head out from the corner at the end of the street, and he waved vigorously at Li Wei, and then quickly disappeared.
